We respectfully acknowledge that we gather today on the traditional and unceded territory of the First Nations peoples. These lands and waterways have been home to Indigenous peoples for countless generations and remain vital to their cultural and spiritual connections. We recognize the deep history, culture, and contributions of the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land and continue to do so today. We are committed to advancing truth and reconciliation by integrating Indigenous ways of knowing and being into daily practices, fostering opportunities to learn about First Nations history, and honouring Indigenous voices.
